Disclaimer: I still haven't gotten word back from the producers etc. about whether the rights to DBZ are going to be turned over to me or not, but I've been informed that it might happen when hell freezes over...here's hoping that Earth's orbit drastically changes in the next few years making the earth very cold...otherwise I don't think that it'll happen...Man that was long ^.^
Responses to Reviews:
Well, actually there's none this time *sweatdrops* no one wants me to talk to them =(…nah, dun worry about it, it's okie!!
Everyone: I'm really sorry about the late update...unfortunately I had exams. I would have liked to say that I couldn't get off my lazy butt and write something, but unfortunately, that was not the case, oh well, it's holidays soon so I can write lots for ya then...well, enjoy!
Another Note: Are these getting annoying? Well, just for all who wants to be an alien species, I wasn't really doing that kind of thing so if you've put yourself as an alien, please don't be offended if I don't write that. (Exception maybe to Radu, but I don't know yet)

"I think he's still asleep" Goten whispered as he and Trunks stood outside his tent, testing Gohan's ki, checking whether he was still asleep.
"Yeah, come on, let's wake him" Trunks agreed.
"Shhh, you gotta be really quiet" Goten whispered as he and Trunks softly unzipped the tent.
They had identical evil smiles on their faces as they were gonna wake up their favorite target, a demi-Saiyan by the name of Son Gohan. Also known as Goten's brother, Kakarot's brat #1, Kakarot's spawn, Gold Fighter and the Great Saiyadork –uh- I mean Saiyaman...^.^
Trunks and Goten ignored the other sleeping figures of Sharpener and Tysun as they crept up on their target.
They were just about to pounce on Gohan, ready to give him the fright of his life when suddenly, his arms appeared out of nowhere and caught them in mid-pounce.
"Aw man, Gohan! I thought you were asleep! When'd you wake up?" Goten whined
"Right about 'I think he's still asleep'" Gohan said, laughing at the younger boys who were struggling out of his grip "And you better be quiet, they're still asleep"
Goten and Trunks shut up and the three demi-Saiyans exited the tent and sat on a log to one side of the clearing.
"Gohan, can we stay with you today?" Goten asked eagerly.
Gohan was silent for a second, weighing up the good and bad of the decision. The bad outnumbered the good by a fair bit, but he decided to let the boys stay anyway.
"Okay, but you better be good or else I'm sending you straight home" he warned
Goten and Trunks sat up straight and tried to look as angelic as they could.
"Of course we'll behave" they chorused.
Meanwhile, Reez, Tobun, Chelsea and Jade had been busy all night with Damon and Dracon. They were over the other side of the lake where they'd met the previous day. The twins had been at work on their laptop all night, along with suggestions from the four girls. It was all part of the prank they'd pulled a few of hours earlier.
Finally it was complete and Damon pulled out a piece of paper from their small portable printer and handed it to Chelsea who put it in an envelope. She pulled out a pen and wrote 'Hercule' on the front of the envelope.
"Okay, who's gonna come and do the drop?" she asked, replacing the lid on the pen and putting it back away in her pocket.
"Well I'm coming" Tobun said "There's no way I'm gonna skip out on this"
Reez and Jade nodded their heads in agreement and Jade patted her trusty video camera "You're gonna need this" she said
Chelsea smiled "Come on then"
"Bye" the twins said, waving to the four girls as they disappeared into the depths of the forest.
Reez, Tobun, Chelsea and Jade crept their way through the woods in the direction of Hercule's capsule house.
When they got there, Chelsea pulled the envelope out of the pocket in her jacket and quietly placed it on the ground in front of the door. Then, making sure that the others were hiding in the bush, she pressed the doorbell and quickly ran to her own hiding place behind a rock.
Jade was beside her, filming from her vantage point in a bush, while Reez and Tobun had opted for a nearby tree.
A few minutes later, just before Chelsea was about to go press the button again, a rather disheveled Hercule opened the door, rubbing his eye sleepily. His pink hair, which he had managed to semi-afro again, was leaning to one side.
He bent down and picked up the envelope and looked around suspiciously to see who was around.
Frowning when he couldn't see anyone, he ripped open the envelope and pulled out the contents.
"NO!!! NOT MR FLUFFLEBOTTY!!!!" he cried when he saw the picture of his precious teddy-bear with the words 'Ransom - $1000 or else you'll never see him again', cut out of newspapers, at the top. At the bottom were the words 'We will contact you with more details soon'.
"No! Mr Flufflebotty, why have they done this to you!?" Hercule cried as he turned to go back into the house, wiping a tear from his eye as he did.
The four girls hidden in the scrub around the house were snickering softly, trying not to alert the great hero of their presence.
"Did you get it all?" Chelsea asked Jade.
"Yep" she said, smirking as she stopped recording "This is pure gold material"
Silently, the four girls melted back into the woods, heading back towards the campsite.
Gohan was sitting on the log with the two demon demi-Saiyans who were trying their best to be good. They were sitting up straight like little kids at school with their arms and legs crossed.
He heard a rustling in the bush behind him and then Reez, Tobun, Chelsea and Jade emerged, smirking like no end.
"What have you been doing?" he asked curiously, seeing as they'd come from the direction of Hercule's hideout.
"Quite a lot actually" Jade said as she showed the newly gained video footage to Gohan and the chibis, who all cracked up laughing.
"Mr Flufflebotty!?" Gohan exclaimed in between laughs.
"Yep, for sure" Tobun said, "It sure was worth staying up all night for"
"And may I ask what's so funny?" a voice came from behind them
They all swirled around to see Videl standing with her hands on her hips, looking at the 7 people.
Jade looked down at the video camera and quickly shoved it behind her back, hoping that Videl didn't see it.
Too late.
"What do you have there?" she asked Jade, who looked a bit sheepish.
"Uhhh, nothing" Jade said
"Show me the camera" Videl demanded, taking a step towards Jade.
"No" Jade said "Tobun, catch!" she threw the camera to Tobun, who caught it safely.
"Reez, catch!" Tobun said, throwing it to Reez.
"Gohan, heads up!" Reez said, throwing it to Gohan.
"Here, Trunks" Gohan said, passing it to Trunks who was sitting next to him.
"Here, Goten" Trunks said, shoving the camera towards Goten.
"What do I do with it?" Goten asked, "There's no one there!"
Videl stalked towards Gohan's younger brother, who jumped off the log and ran behind Gohan. She followed Goten, who threw the camera up into the air and Trunks leapt up and caught it, then he ran off into the woods with the camera, Goten following closely behind.
Videl tried to give her best glare at the group in front of her, but couldn't, instead they had to make do with a half-hearted glare. She stalked off in the direction of the lake.
After she was out of hearing distance, the group of teens cracked up laughing and Goten and Trunks emerged from the forest again and handed the camera back over to Jade.
"Thanks, I thought for sure that we were busted" she said
"Yeah, we better go get some copies of that now" Reez said and the four girls plus Gohan and the chibis raced off to drag Damon and Dracon out of their tent so they could make extra copies.
